Helpful Woodworking Tricks You'll Actually Use | Useful Woodshop Hacks

[@MrKww900l]

The author does like to from scratch, kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.

As a long time carpenter / woodworker, I had to subscribe. You exhibit two of my favourite qualities. Highly informative, extremely entertaining. Thanks man. Love your video.

[@davidsnodgrass3493]

I like how you get right to the subject . Thanks for respecting my time. Most other channels just like to hear themselves talk and talk and talk . Thanks. Love your format. Simple and good info. I think your humor is great.

Plugging holes to make a new one: I've always (for several decades anyway) used wood toothpicks. Either round or flat (and occasionally bamboo skewers even though they're really grass and not wood.) Glue it in etc. etc.. Also works on stripped out screw holes.

OMG I've been confused about what cathedrals are meant to tell me about grain direction for so long! Thank you!

[@JamieLloyd]

I've just now started doing some very beginning woodworking things in my garage. I just had to take a minute to let you know I really really enjoy watching your videos and I've learned so much already and I can't wait to learn more as you keep posting videos. Thank you for all your effort in the videos you post, quality of content, etc. 10/10 sir!

[@theofarmmanager267]

That’s really great. Can I make a suggestion (from an old man with 45 plus years of woodworking). There is a normal emotion of, when just starting, wanting to make things. And make things. And make things. Don’t fight that but try to balance making with learning. By which I mean learn and practice the basics - without which anyone would be a hack and not a craftsman. First for me would be measuring and marking. Firstly then, you need accurate and reliable rules, tapes and squares. That doesn’t mean the most expensive (most people like owning lovely things; people drove a Rolls Royce but it doesn’t get you there any quicker than a Mini). It doesn’t have to be new. It often doesn’t matter that your tape is 1mm inaccurate over 2m as you probably want reliability more than absolute accuracy. For example, you measure an alcove with your tape at 997mm - when actually it’s 998. But, when you cut a piece to fit nicely, you use the same tape to cut at 997mm and it fits. The square needs to be square; easy test; take a scrap of sheet paper or card or even mdf. Place your square on it with the short edge of the square facing left (needs to be accurately placed at the edge and sometimes a thicker piece of card or timer makes this easier) and the long side on the card/timber. Draw a line along the long side with a sharp pencil. Then flip the square over with the short part again along the edge of the card but now facing right. The long side should be very near to where you had it before. Draw another sharp line. If your square is perfect, then the 2 lines that you have drawn will be parallel. If they are not exactly parallel, then you can measure the degree by measuring the out-of-parallel and dividing that by 2. For example, if your out of parallel measurement is 2mm, then your square is out of square by 1mm over the length of the long side. If your square has been bought new, then don’t touch it, just take it back. If it’s secondhand, you can certainly try and make it square by taking a sheet of emery paper wrapped around a long piece of timber and try to rectify the inaccuracy. Personally, I would just throw it and learn the lesson. Then you have the good ways to mark; to saw; to chisel. Actually, there are lots of good ways and a few bad ways. There is no ONE way. If anyone finds this useful, I’m happy to write a bot more.

[@billparrish4385]

Wow, that first tip was great, I'm using that today! Not the miter saw jig thingie, I mean the dust extraction hose down the back of the pants when doing a sketchy cut. Can't tell you the number of times _that_ would have come in handy!

I always appreciate your tips videos! I had to look up "8 quarter", as I'm still learning the language. Downloaded the app, and plan to add the hold-down clamp to my miter saw fence. I do believe that my favorite tip was in a prior video on how to de-nail pallet wood. That has saved me hours of work! ;-) Love your work!

[@damionthelwell2032]

I like your videos they're very educational . I wonder sometimes how he have not hurt himself yet maybe he has lol. The way he's always throwing himself all over the place.

[@SmokeGSU]

For others who may not know, a lot of lumber yards will define thickness measurements of wood in quarters of an inch. We all should know that there are four quarters in one inch, four quarters in one dollar, etc. So when the thickness of a board is listed as "8 quarters", what it means is that this is a two-inch thick board. If something is "6 quarters" this means it's one and one-half inches thick. "5 quarters" is one and one-quarter inches". Etc.

[@orazha]

[@ShaneCraddock]

Yup, I try to ignore it, shouldn't irk me as much as it does, but I can't help it. The Amazon link he has for it uses the shotgun approach "Digital Caliper Measuring Tool, Stainless Steel Vernier Caliper Digital Micrometer with Large LCD Screen, Easy Switch from Inch Metric Fraction, 6 Inch Caliper Tool for DIY/Household" ... jeez Also "take a butane torch" with a big blue "propane" label on it.
